Albanians protest $4bn Trump family luxury resort on protected Adriatic coastline

An unprecedented leaderless protest movement called the "Flamingo Revolution" has emerged in Albania against a $4 billion luxury resort project backed by Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner. The development would be built on protected Adriatic coastline on land purchased by Qatari contacts of the Kushners. Activists accuse the Albanian government of enabling the privatization of protected land due to its ties with the U.S. president's family.

Should Albania block the Trump family resort on protected coastline?
